Cut Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Hallucinations by 50%
Most teams hit the same wall with enterprise AI: LLMs that hallucinate, pipelines that don’t scale, and infrastructure that’s harder to design than the models themselves.
What Is Intelligent BOM Management? A Guide to Smarter Product Development
Learn how intelligent Bill of Materials (BOM) management helps teams collaborate, reduce errors, and bring innovative products to market faster with cloud-based PLM tools.
Appro (Milpitas, CA) has introduced new 1U and 3U XtremeServers. Bothnew XtremeServers deploy what AMD calls its Next-Generation Opteronprocessor. These processors are said offer energy-efficient DDR2memory, AMD Virtualization support, a quad-core ready socket, reducedmemory latency, and increased data throughput. The chips reduce memorylatency and increase data throughput because of AMD's Direct ConnectArchitecture
Appro says its new rack-mountable 1U XtremeServer can provide thefoundation for supercomputing clusters for customers who require aflexible density-optimized 1U server. Standard features seem to supportthat assertion: two AMD Opteron processors with up to 64GB of DDR2memory; up to 1.0TB SATA or 292GB SAS hot-swappable drives with onePCI-X, and one PCI Express x16 slots available.
The new APPRO 3U XtremeServer targets engineering graphic simulationand rendering, CFD, scientific visualization, and similarcompute-intensive applications. It features up to four AMDOpteron processors, 128GB of DDR2 memory, 3.0TB SATA or 876GB SAShot-swappable drives, two PCI Express x16 and three PCI-X slots,redundant power supplies, and fans.
